Plural of digamy; instances of marrying twice or the condition of having two marriages in succession.
From di- (two) + -gamy (marriage), from Greek gamos. The condition describes remarriage after a spouse's death or divorce, which was historically significant in religious law.
In medieval Europe, the Christian church viewed digamy (remarriage) with suspicion—remarried widows couldn't sing in choirs or wear white, creating social marks on second marriages that lasted centuries.
